Previously mentioned storm seems destined for Oregon / California but is there still hope for snow lovers on the island?

Latest models show the cold, dry air currently parked over the area steering a powerful and warm pacific system down toward the or/ca border.

Models previously had this low closer to the Columbia River, which would be a snowy solution for puget sound.

At one point the low was streaming straight down to the Bay Area, but as we get closer, models have trended north a bit.

In my last post I also mentioned this being a Wednesday storm, but all models agree this is due for a later arrival as a Thurs/Friday event.

Tonight will likely be the deciding factor on the model runs as to whether we see some wrap around snow.

For now, we’re basically on the border of snow / no-snow as seen in the model shown here.

Note this system will likely make some headlines, particularly for Oregon and Willamette Valley with chances of a freezing rain event increasing down south.

Storms are stacking out the back on the pacific but the cold air needed for lowland snow will be swept out of the area.

Looks like we’ll be shifting back into a warmer but windier and rainier period after this weekend.

Will try and get the Friday system dialed with one last post on it.
